Does elgg work with yahoo hosting?
By Kandystar
I have yahoo hosting and was wondering if elgg will work with them? I tried to follow all of the instructions for install and when i went to the elgg folder that was uploaded to my site the install did not begin as the instructions said it would, all I had was a blank white screen.
I really want to use elgg it is perfect for what I want my site to contain. I would really appreciate any help! Thank you!

You must log in to post replies.Check that the Apache mysql module is installed and is being loaded.
How exactly do I do that? Thank you!
did you ever get it to work, I have yahoo and I cant get it to load? Thanks
If you have a vps with Linux, go to http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Install_Ubuntu
A dummy here. I just discovered elgg two days ago... but soon realized it was not that easy for a non-tech person. I have used wordpress (don't laugh) with yahoo webhosting, and well, it's easy. So I thought I would just put the elgg files in a folder in my site ( I did read instructions). Well, it's been 48 hours now, and every minute I find something new. I am starting to get frustrated, so many words "apache", "bug", "myphpadmin"...
Well, too start off I found out I needed to have php 5.2 or higher, but my yahoo server shows it has either 4 or 5, so I guess it might not work. I gues it can be upgraded, also Mysql something 5 or higher but I couldn't find what version yahoo has.
I guess I will need serious help as I do want a stunning site, not public, for my students. Well I had to start somewhere.
Just to release the slight frustration. Good luck everyone.
Sprach,
Sorry you're having so much trouble. If you spend more than 30 minutes fighting with the same problem and aren't able to figure it out -- best to ask in the community about it (after searching to see if it's already been addressed of course!). Best to you in your endeavors!
